1. Introduction

Development Background

Rinnai have developed a Portable Convector/Air Purifier Space Heater with an air purifying

capacity that exceeds existing models and meets recent aims to improve health. We recommend that

replaceable parts and the location of the unit be changed yearly.

Features

• Air Purifier

1. Removes cigarette smoke, pollen, household dust and other micro-particles.

2. Use of the anti-bacterial and deodorising filter creates a comfortable space to live in (filter

indicator shows when it needs to be replaced.).

3. The dust sensor shows how clean the air is in a room.

4. The automatic function changes its operational level according to the cleanliness of the air in

the room. There are four levels of adjustment for manual operation.

5. The OFF Timers can be set in three steps.

•Heater

1. The various safety devices, fault history display, etc. are the same as the existing models.

2. “TR” model features dual ON/OFF Timer, remote control, economy mode, clock display &

child lock.
